    St Pancreas crowding has already been shitty, can’t believe they want to make it worse on purpose. These blokes are really brilliant…

      I’m sure a pancreas is useful but I’d never have thought it’d be canonised.

        The parish was named after Saint Pancras, a 14-year-old boy who had converted to Christianity and would not renounce his faith. As a result, he was beheaded by Diocletian in Rome in 304AD. He is the patron saint of children. St Pancras is a Greek name meaning ‘the one that holds everything’.

        Apparently St Pancras is the patron saint of indoctrinating children to become martyrs of their religion.

        Why no canonisation of internal organs and bodily functions? Holy shit I’d love to have something like that.

      They have little choice, as having rigorous border controls at your side of your border with the EU is pretty much part of being a 3rd country. If the UK wanted this to go away, they could simply become a signatory to the Schengen Agreement. I guess this one simple step is somewhat unpalatable to the Brexiters currently ruling the UK, because free movement goes both ways.
